World Cup Photos: Holland 2-0 Denmark

WORLD Cup in pictures: Group E – Netherlands v Denmark at the Soccer City Stadium – the one with the orange seating. The Danes never stood a chance. Things weren’t helped by an own goal from Liverpool’s Daniel Agger. And then Dirk Kuyt made it 2-10. Who needs Torres, eh? (Picture 9 is of note.)

As a Dutchman I gotta say what freaking luck we had there. Poulsen’s uber retarded header, then it kindly bounces of Agger’s chest, then it rebounds at snails pace off the inside of the post and in. God, we were the better side, but that goal really helped us on our way. Looking for a more electrifying performance from us against the Japs.

True, a guy like Elia offers width and more attacking threat. I’d rather see him start against Japan but Bert Van Marwijk is consequent in his selection policy so I expect VDV to start. Kuyt is an important player to the even though he’s technically limited. He brings balance to the side and is a guy who’ll run his ass of 90 mins.

Btw, I can’t wait till Robben gets some action. Word is Japan comes to soon. We’ll win the group without him, I’m not worried about that, but it be a real shame if it turns out he won’t be able to play in the tournament at all. He prolly will though.
